DevOps & AI Engineering Intern (Undergraduate)

WEX is a global commerce platform that simplifies business operations through employee benefits, business payments, and fleet and mobility solutions. The DevOps & AI Engineering Intern will support AI infrastructure, cloud migration, developer workflows, CI/CD automation, infrastructure as code, GenAI integrations, and SDLC security while collaborating with experienced engineering teams.

Responsibilities:

• Assist in developing, deploying, and maintaining MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, agentic infrastructure, and AI observability capabilities for the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
• Audit, upgrade, and test GitHub Actions dependencies, converting legacy steps into documented, reusable workflow templates for the internal developer marketplace
• Write and refactor production-ready Terraform modules to automate Artifactory repository setups, RBAC policies, lifecycle rules, and cloud infrastructure
• Provide front-line assistance to internal developers by investigating, triaging, and resolving incoming GitHub, Artifactory, and CI/CD support tickets while maintaining team SLAs
• Evaluate and implement Generative AI tools (e.g., Cursor, Augment, Claude, LangChain, LlamaIndex) to automate engineering workflows and build practical backend services
• Help implement automated compliance tagging (e.g., FABRIC_ID), native Secret Push Protection, and security guardrails against AI-era threats (such as prompt injection and malicious package dependencies)
• Create clear README files, sample developer starter repositories, and step-by-step documentation showcasing secure pipeline patterns and AI tool integration
• Participate actively in daily standups and engineering design sessions, articulating technical blockers clearly, sharing progress, and collaborating across distributed, remote teams

Requirements:

• We are seeking a highly motivated undergraduate student in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field to join our Engineering teams as an intern
• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical field
• Foundational proficiency in Python (including standard data structures, object-oriented concepts, and API integrations) or other modern programming/scripting languages (Bash, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Go)
• Hands-on experience navigating GitHub and executing CLI workflows (git pull, push, commit, checkout, branch, merge, PRs) for coursework, personal projects, or open-source contributions
• Core understanding of networking concepts (HTTP/HTTPS, REST APIs, basic request/response flows) and systematic technical troubleshooting skills (reading error logs and debugging)
• Clear written and verbal communication skills with a service-oriented approach to helping internal developer peers remove friction
• High curiosity, initiative to independently research and troubleshoot technical issues before escalation, and a strong passion for learning modern technologies and AI
• Exposure to cloud platforms, networking concepts, containerization (Docker, container registries), or core AWS services (S3, EC2, Lambda)
• Familiarity with continuous integration/deployment concepts, editing YAML configuration files, and GitHub Actions (or ARC runner scaling)
• Conceptual knowledge or hands-on exposure to tools like Terraform
• Practical experience or strong interest in Generative AI tools, LLM APIs, harnesses, agentic frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex), or AI coding tools (Cursor, Augment, Claude)
• Awareness of package managers (npm, PyPI, Maven, NuGet) or enterprise artifact repositories like JFrog Artifactory
• Exposure to software supply chain security, secret push protection, dependency scanning, or AI security guardrails
• Prior experience with ticketing systems, customer support, peer tutoring, or IT helpdesk roles
